Homes for sale and homes for rent in Santa Ana, San José, Costa Rica | Newsletters

Dear friends,

When I started Residencias Los Jardines, I started writing a weekly news letter -determined to tell all the good, bad, and the ugly. I knew some readers would be interested in the construction process. I expected others might be interested in the lifestyle of two people who had decided to live outside the box. For others, the adventures of Lita, the parrot and the cat took on an entertainment saga all its own.

Residencias Los Jardines is finished. We periodically have resales and rental availability. Some readers may be interested in this information.

Construction Log
Updates about Hacienda El Dorado

Rio Oro: This property has been sold and our dreams for it have ended. Still cleaning up details...but nearing completion of all items...

 

Residencias Los Jardines
Property Management, Rentals, Re-Sales

Tree Cutting: nearly completed.

Transitioning: The goal is to make the transition transparent to the clients -owners and tenants. I'm working on my end and expect to be fully operational this time next week. Doneste...?? don't know what their plans are other than to rely on Krysia.

Market Activity

Sales: the conditional offer fell through because in the end, the parties couldn't agree on a price.

Several other people were on site looking for purchases.

Rentals: we've had a number of short term clients looking and have secured several fill-in rentals. Since we do not have a large number of similar places to rent, each client has their preferences and coordinating and negotiating dates is sometimes time and always time consuming. Many places say they do not accept clients less than a year. We are getting clients look for 1 - 3 month terms. We're taking them if the unit is vacant... it keeps the money coming in and keeps us on the agent radar screen... and who knows, sometimes the client gives us a referral or returns... as is happening with one former client for the third time...

Our Lives

WEATHER: more overcast, hot, humid until there's a shower. The garden is beginning to respond.

All in a Week's Living in CR:

Note: This newsletter is undergoing changes to reflect the cancellation of the Hacienda El Dorado development. I was hoping those changes would be ready this week -some might be, but by next week all changes should be reflected in the newsletter.

This week has been devoted to separating files, setting up a new filing system, a new invoicing system, and basically, a new operating system... I've been and continue to deal with the nitty-gritty of making this all happen... AND in winding down the few remaining details of El Dorado -while coming face-to-face with many things I have taken and still take for granted... now I have to learn how to do them because my help, mainly Krysia, will be less available...
